Socrates

Be the kind of person that you want people to think you are.

Socrates

Be true to thine own self.

Socrates

Every action has its pleasures and its price.

Socrates

Every pleasure or pain has a sort of rivet with which it fastens the soul to the body and pins it down and makes it corporeal, accepting as true whatever the body certifies.

Socrates

Fame is the perfume of heroic deeds.

Socrates

I cannot teach anybody anything, I can only make them think.

Socrates

I know that I am intelligent, because I know that I know nothing.

Socrates

If one knows what is right, he will do it; nobody wants to be evil.

Socrates

If you can do only a little. Do what you can. What you cannot enforce, do not command.

Socrates

It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.
